Photography for Enhance Brochure

Earlier this year I completed a photography brief for the University of Northampton. I thought it might be interesting to see how the pictures were used in the final format.

Enhance brochure final format:

From the introduction of the brochure:

The enhancement of the student learning experience is of central importance at The University of Northampton. In order to address this, we are building on our external recognition for excellence in learning and teaching, providing our students with the learning experience that prepares them for their future career and life. As an institution, we are developing an innovative and dynamic higher education (HE) environment, which recognises the diverse needs of our students and supports their development as independent, reflective learners.

Thanks to Dr John Butcher and Sarah Beer.

Brochure design: An Academy for Kettering

Whilst looking through my portfolio I recently found this 16-page brochure detailing the proposal to replace Ise Community College, Kettering, with a new science and business academy.

The brochure was designed, photographed and typeset by myself for the Brooke Weston Partnership who are sponsoring the academy proposal. The brochure is themed around the future building will be a notable landmark for Kettering. The design also contains a montage of the current skyline, which was photographed in an afternoon and reworked in Adobe Photoshop. The flame logo was created in Adobe Illustrator and relects the colours from the Brooke Weston Partnership logo.

Academy for Ketteringa new landmark

The government decides the future for these schools in April 2009. If accepted, the project, including new build, should be complete by 2012.

A second academy conversion in Kettering, sponsored by the United Learning Trust, attracted some controversy this year when the appointed headteacher, Mr Tim Hastie-Smith, withdrew from his position after controversial comments were published in the local press, and the national press ran a story about his decision to employ a teacher who had secretly filmed a pupil having sex while on a school trip.
